The "normal" time for them to do this has been all over the Map.
Check out this Web page which keeps track of when they have introduced stuff in the past:

Thanks, that all makes interesting reading.
Don't they sometimes usually? have a Big Announcement Meeting in the
late-winter/early-spring when they actually announce what's coming?
Thanks!

Several years ago they used to announce a lot of their new stuff to coincide with Macworld Expo and Steve Jobs' keynote speech there every year. But Apple disassociated itself with Macworld Expo and now introduces stuff whenever they feel like it, not based on any show or particular date.

Howdy.
I just did a test and burned 3 .mkv videos to a DVD-R RW disc.
The burn worked just fine. I just played one of the videos on the DVD
disc and it played OK.
So. Here were the steps I used and also a couple of notes.
1. Create a new burn folder.
In Finder choose File menu and New burn folder.
A new folder should appear on the Desktop named Burn Folder.fpbf
2. Drag your files and a couple of mkv videos to this Burn Folder.
Remember to keep the total file size to the size of the blank DVD disc.
3. Insert a blank DVD disc.
Wait for it to do it's thing.
4. Choose Burn Burn Folder.fpbf command from Finder's File menu.
You should see a progress bar as it burns and then a 2nd progress bar
as it verifies.
That's it.
So why won't this work for you?
Some possibilities are:
Bad, dirty, or scratched or damaged DVD disc.
BTW, I use micro fiber clothes to clean the data side of optical
discs.
It's possible to get a box or cake box spindle of bad optical discs all
made in the same batch and all problematic. This has happened to me.
Incompatible brand of DVD disc. Happers fairly often especially when
using more exotic media such as BD-RE DL discs, printable double layer
DVD discs, etc.
I've had some problems with Memorex brand discs on my Mac system.
After experimenting with 10 to 12 brands of optical discs I settled on
Verbatim brand and for single layer DVD-R printable the Sony brand.
Verbatim also works well for me with DVD single layer discs.
If you use RW or ReWritable discs, there can be some issues when they
are erased. You may find that if you burn a DVD-RW using the Finder's
built in burn command and then later you want to add to this disc, you
copy the contents back to your HD and then use Disk Utility to erase
the disc. Here's the fly in the ointment for erasing. If you then
start using a 3rd party burn program, you may need to do a full erase
(not a quick erase) of the previously Finder burned DVD-RW using the
new 3rd party program you buy. RW discs can be a problem when you
attempt to use them with different burning and erasing programs.
I have owned Roxio's Toast Titanium burning (and much more) program for
many years and use it to do all my burning and erasing but I have run
into this problem with doing a Quick Erase and it not working on Toast
if the disc had previously been burned via Finder's burn command.
It's not a permanent problem because you can use the 3rd party burn
program to do a Full Erase and the disc should then start working fine
via the 3rd party program.
Good luck!

My cataract (dominant left eye) gets replaced by an artificial lens this coming Thursday.
I am hoping for greatly improved central acuity in that eye.

You're lucky, I usually only get 3 years from an Apple Airport. And the switch is a lot cheaper.

Considering that they have been probably the most expensive Wi-Fi routers
on the market, this is unacceptable.
Our Belkin 54g, the cheapest I could find at the time with 11g, is still
working fine after 9 years. And it has 4 LAN ports ...

It would be if it were widespread.
My Airport Extreme base station has been running 24/7 for around 5 years. I've re-booted it a couple of times, but no more care than that has been needed. It presently has all the plugs in the back in use -- WAN (of course), LAN times 3, and USB. Plus 5 devices using the Wifi daily.

Thanks, Ed! That is what I understood. I just hate having to buy and learn a new Windows for the so very few things I use Windows for.
Currently the only thing I use Windows for is with my local library that carries mostly just WMA audiobooks that will only load in Windows, and that is it. So I keep an iPod nano only for those audiobooks.

Just a quick email to aid potential Bootcamp users that once you have
created your Bootcamp partition that if you intend to add more than one
copy of windows there are a few things you might like to know:
1) Install 'Refit' as it allows you to select Mac or Windows when
booting, and if all goes pear-shaped the ALT key reboot retriggers it.
2) Once you have a Windows compatible partition you can use windows own
partitioning tool to subdivide it, allowing more than one version of
windows to be installed.
3) If you want to run XP and one or more later versions of windows, you
must install XP first then add Vista, Win7 etc afterwards to their own
partitions so that you can boot into any of them afterwards, as they use
different boot techniques.
4) If you are going to run a mixture of Windows versions such as XP and
Win 7 some form of boot management such as EasyBCD could be useful.
5) My own preference for backup, restore and cloning various versions of
Windows from XP to Win7 (but not Win8 yet) is HyperOS, which is not a
freebie, but is worthwhile if you have several different versions of
windows , especialy with multiple drives.
6) If you have more than one hard drive, you do not have to install
MacOSX on the second drive and then 'Bootcamp' it, unless you want
another OSX partition. You can use your first Windows system to format
and partition it. However, I must admit it is a nice way to have
different versions of OSX on the machine and keep them separate.
I have been using Bootcamp on my old MacPro for several years, and it is
the best PC I have ever had.

and partition it. However, I must admit it is a nice way to have
different versions of OSX on the machine and keep them separate.
I have been using Bootcamp on my old MacPro for several years, and it is
the best PC I have ever had.

"404" may be one of the first html (the structured language that is used to create web pages and now often email messages that include graphics and formatting) result codes to make the leap from the arcane world of computer shorthand to the argot of the young professional. If you try to navigate to a web page and the page displays "404" that means there is no such address. It can mean you typed just one character wrong in the address, or that whomever gave you the link (URL address) did so, or that the page no longer exists, or many other variations on that theme.

I assume (from the broken URL) that you're subscribed to a CalDAV calendar on yahoo. (I don't use yahoo and didn't know they hosted web calendars; if they do, they're certainly WAY less popular on the Mac as a way to host that information than is either iCloud or Google). If you do subscribe to a calendar on Yahoo, the message is indeed telling you that the calendar is not located where you think it is, so its data cannot show up in your Mac's Calendar program.

Refurbished iMacs are generally a good deal. They are for all intents and purposes identical to "new" except for the packaging and the price. I've purchased many refurbs.
That said, you need to be careful about precisely what machine you are getting as refurbs may or may not be current models and it can sometimes be difficult to compare specs in the refurb store and compare to the current machines. Whether a refurb is a "good deal" is entirely subjective based on your particular needs so the specs are important. Machines that look identical to new machines may not be. Examine the description carefully. The application "Apptracker" can help pin down the details and includes benchmarks to compare models.
The refurb store also changes constantly and sometimes very fast. If you see something that looks perfect, move quickly. The best "deals" disappear quickly. If you don't see what you want today, it could appear tomorrow.
Cheers,
tod

I am the only person I know personally who has successfully used this function, including my three grown children who all say it's a "useless" feature. Many of the problems are networking issues not in your direct control. For instance, at work, iTunes sees my iPhone fine, but not at home. The difference is the router. Mac networking doesn't like the Verizon Actiontec router at home but it's fine with my work network.
Here is how it's supposed to work. In theory, when you plug the iPhone into a power source, it wakes up briefly, and then iTunes, if it happens to be running sees it over Wi-fi, and if set to sync automatically, does so. How is this useful? How many of us plug the iPhone into something OTHER than the syncing computer while we are on the same wireless connection as the syncing machine, and WHILE the syncing machine is awake and running? Seems like a pretty small group to me. I must admit, I have actually seen this work. It worked once or twice for me at home when I initially set it up, then stopped. Never worked again in spite of some considerable effort. Mac printing behaves the same way. It's the router.
BUT I do use it and here's how. In the office, where iTunes can more or less reliably see the iPhone (remember it generally can't see my phone at home), I wake up the phone. This must happen first. Now I run iTunes immediately. iTunes usually detects the phone, but will not sync automatically. (It's not supposed to because the phone is not connected to power.) I select the phone in iTunes and click the sync button. If I do all of this before the phone sleeps, it usually syncs. Sometimes iTunes tells me it "can't find" the iPhone, even though it was just looking at it and I have to start all over. Though when that happens, I just get out the cord.
YMMV. ;) I'm working with Snow Leopard and a 4S.
If you have Verizon FIOS with an Actiontec router, you need to get something different if you want it to work with your Macs.
Cheers,
tod
